Chapter 1

The full moon was high in the sky, shedding light over the village hidden in the leaves. It was the night of October 10th, and it was five years to this day that the Kyuubi attacked the village and killed a many of Konoha's people.

It was on this night that two figures clad in brown robes walked through the village.

"Come my apprentice, we must find the child before any more harm comes his way this night."

The younger of the two increased his pace to keep up with his elder.

"Master Drei, why do we not simply take the child by force? The people of this village deserve it, and if we delay any longer the savages of this village will only inflict further harm on him."

"Patience Alec, we are not here to pass on judgment. We are only here to bring the child to the council."

"Yes master."


Naruto was currently running for his life, knowing what waited should he fall behind. It happened every year on his birthday, and no matter what he did, or didn't do, a large group of people were always sure to find him, and beat him. The same was true for tonight, and it was only due to his small size that he was able to elude the horde for so long, but his luck was bound to run out.

After he had ducked into an alleyway that he regularly used to escape, he heard an eerie voice on the roof whisper "Doton: Doryuheki (Earth Release: Earth Release Wall)". To Naruto's horror he watched as a wall of earth rose from the end of the alleyway and cut off any chance that Naruto had to escape.

Naruto ran towards the wall as fast as he could, building up speed to scale the wall. He jumped as high as he could, but he couldn't reach his fingers above the top and he slid down the wall to rest on his knees.

Backed up against the earthen wall he looked behind him with tears cascading down his eyes as a large mass of people with crazed looks in their eyes approached him. They ignored his cries and pleas for mercy as they each took turns enacting their revenge on the "demon brat", leaving the broken body of a small five year old child barely conscious to the world around him. Everywhere were small sprays of his blood, as cuts were made to non-lethal parts of his body to inflict the most pain but still leave him alive. After all, they still had to have fun next year.

Raven had just come back from a long-term infiltration mission in Kumogakure. Such missions had become common place amongst the ANBU after the Hyuuga heiress was kidnapped a year ago. He had just finished his debriefing with the Hokage, who expressed his thanks with several days off leave.

Raven was walking along the rooftops enjoying the moonlight that lit up the village he held dear to his heart. He would do whatever was necessary to ensure Konoha was protected, from both internal and external threats.

As he neared his home he saw a stream people exit an alleyway, and, being of the curious nature, decided to investigate. What he saw would leave him with nightmares. The alley was painted with sprays of blood. It was simply everywhere, it coated the walls, it coated the trash bins, it coated the earth wall erected in the alley, and most of all it formed a large pool beneath the broken husk of a small five year old child.

His eyes widened when he saw whose blood it was. 'No… that can't be… no…'

He jumped into action when he saw a Shinobi make his way to Naruto.


One of the Shinobi from the group of "fox hunters" approached Naruto, drawing a kunai from a pouch on his waist. Naruto was barely able to even lift his eyes up when he saw an ANBU with a raven mask appeared in a blur and kicked his would be attacker back.

The Shinobi attacker stumbled back several feet in a grunt before he looked up and saw the ANBU.

"Ah, sorry ANBU-san. I forgot to share. Go ahead, you can have your turn. Just make sure he is still conscious for me to-"

*Squelch*

The man never finished his sentence before his head was removed from his body by the ANBU in a blur. The crowd never even saw him draw is Ninja-to, but they definitely heard his warning.

"Unless you wish to share this fools fate, you will leave now before I begin to carve your miserable corpses."

Everyone, even the Shinobi, ran from the scene as fast as they could. Raven turned and sheathed his weapon, picking up the child who had half-closed eyes.

"Don't worry Naruto, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Naruto only saw the mask of a Raven before he passed out from a mixture of blood-loss and exhaustion. Raven sighed in anger before he began heading as fast as he could to Konoha's hospital where he would most likely have to threaten quite a few people in order to get Naruto the treatment he needed. He had only gone a few blocks when he was forced to his knees, held down by an unknown force, similar to a paralyzing fear but much… stronger.

Raven was panting as he looked up to see a man in a large brown robe with a small child in a similar robe. The former had his hand held up. Both of them had large hoods over their face, so all Raven could see were the bottom of their chins, though the words the larger man spoke made he sound like he was very old.

"Do not have fear ninja-san, I am not here to hurt either you or the boy. Quite the opposite really; I am here to save the child."

Raven began shaking. "H-How do you plan to do t-that?"

"I am going to take the child from here. He will be trained and protected from the bigotry of the inhabitants of this… place…"

Raven's eyes flashed red as he tried to break his bonds, but it was useless. 'Dammit! What is he doing to me!? This isn't a Genjutsu, it isn't a Ninjutsu either. I'm sure I didn't step on a Fuinjutsu either…'

The force holding Raven down increased. "I applaud your efforts Ninja-san, but we aren't here to negotiate our mission. I can only hope that you trust that I wouldn't harm the child, but he is gravely injured and he needs medical attention immediately. Alek, carry the child so we can depart."

The other boy stepped towards Raven. "Yes master."

Raven could do little as Naruto was gently taken from his hands. He could only glare in frustration as the boy who now carried Naruto now made his way back to his "master". As soon as the two were together again, they began to leave, the pressure holding Raven down never getting lighter.

"W-Wait! Don't take him! Don't-"

The taller man turned around. "I understand your apprehension of the child leaving in my care, but he will be safer with me than he will ever be in this village, and that is a fact you can't refute. Now, as an act of trust I will tell the child who tried to take care of him in his last moments in this village so tell me. I will pass along the knowledge that there were some in this place who truly cared for him."

Raven hesitated, but as the older man said, he couldn't refute his logic. "My name is Itachi Uchiha. But please just tell Naruto that I am 'Raven'."

"Very well. Farewell Itachi."

Itachi watched as the two left with Naruto, and after several more minutes passed, the pressure began to dissipate. Itachi jumped up and ran towards the center of the village as fast as he could with a single thought screaming in his mind. 'I must inform Hokage-sama immediately!'


Alek and his master walked up to their ship which now became visible with the deactivation of the cloaking device. Alek was worried about the boy, whose breathing had started to come in short raspy gasps.

"Master Drei, I don't think he will make it much longer. He needs to be put into the bacta chamber immediately. From what I can tell his left lung has already collapsed and his right is on the verge."

Drei stopped suddenly, causing his apprentice to run into his back. "Alek, take Naruto into the ship and put him in the bacta chamber. After he is in the chamber begin the preparations for take-off, we have company that I have to deal with before we can leave."

Alek headed his master's orders and went into the ship, barely noticing the sudden increase of people right outside the ship. Had he looked back he would have seen them all staring in awe at the large metal structure that they had never seen, even in their wildest dreams.

Drei took off his hood and turned to face the new presences. "From what I have gathered from Itachi, you must be the leader of this village. Hokage was it? Sarutobi… Hiruzen, if I'm not mistaken."

The Hokage turned to the raven-masked ninja to his right.

"I didn't tell him that Hokage-sama. He must use some sort of technique like the Yamanakas, though his technique does not require him to be in direct contact with his target."

Hiruzen turned towards the person once again. "I don't know who you are, or which village you work for, but I won't let you take Naruto. His parents entrusted me to keep him safe, and I won't betray that trust without a fight."

Drei's face remained stoic as he responded. "I mean no offense to you or your village, but whoever this child's father is, he would be disappointed in you. Being on this planet for only several hours, I have seen more savagery here than I have in the entirety of my life, with the majority being directed towards the very child you wish to reclaim. In fact, I can sense that several of your forces here even participated in the attack that occurred tonight."

One of the ANBU members with a bear mask charged Drei. "How dare you slander the village and Hokage-sama!"

He was stopped dead in his tracks when Drei raised a hand. The Hokage watched as the man was slowly lifted off the ground. Drei brought his hand back slightly, then thrust it forward, sending the ANBU flying towards the tree line where he smacked into a tree, knocking him unconscious but otherwise unharmed. Everyone began to sweat when they witnessed Drei use a Ninjutsu without the use of any hand seals.

Drei spoke up and brought them out of their haze. "I don't wish to continue this conflict. It will only bring further unnecessary violence."

The Hokage bit his thumb and slammed his palm on the ground. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)".

The king of the monkey summons, Enma, appeared next to the Hokage. When he stood up he looked around and began staring at Drei before Enma broke out in chuckles.

"You must be getting old Hiruzen if you need my assistance in dealing with one old man."

He stopped chuckling when he saw the dead-serious look on the Hokage's face. Hiruzen's gaze never deviated from Drei when he spoke.

"This man can use some strange variant of the Yamanaka's Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch), and has shown some strange Ninjutsu that seems to affect gravity. He is trying to kidnap the Yondaime's legacy and-"

Behind Drei the ship began to hum, slowly building up the noise until it was a dull roar. Drei brought his hand up again. "It would seem that my apprentice has everything ready for our departure. I don't believe we will be seeing each other again."

All the remaining ANBU members and the Hokage were forced down to their knees, held down by a pressure from an unknown source. Hiruzen lifted his head up and watched the old man walk up into the giant metal construct. When Drei was inside the ramp, which Hiruzen could only assume was the entrance, lifted up and closed. The construct began to slowly lift off from the ground, and not five seconds later was bounding up to the heavens.

Soon after the ship left the pressure dissipated, and all the ANBU slowly got back up on their feet, but Hiruzen stayed on the ground. Itachi walked over and put his hand on the Hokage's shoulder. Itachi could feel the Hokage's shoulders heaving as he let out silent cries.

"I failed them… I… let them take Naruto… I couldn't even protect a single child… Minato, Kushina… forgive me."

Drei walked through the halls of his ship making his way towards the medical wing to check on the child. Tho-Mes Drei was a very calm man, and he rarely let emotion even show on his face, but when he walked into the medical bay and saw Naruto lying on a table instead of healing in a bacta tank, he got angry with his apprentice.

"Alek. Did I not tell you that under no circumstance were Naruto to leave the healing tank until we reached Coruscant? Yet, here he is, lying on a cold table while he slowly bleeds out. Tell me why you have decided to ignore my directions."

Alek looked between Naruto and his master before he bowed low. "Forgive me master Drei. I had every intention of putting the child in the healing chamber, but when the medical droid did his initial diagnostic, I was informed that such an action would be unnecessary. Naruto's wounds had already closed and, for the most part, healed."

Drei narrowed his eyes at his apprentice, but his gazed was soon broken by movement on the table.


'Huh… where… where am I? Why am I so cold… why is the room so bright? I'm so tired…'

Naruto turned his head to the side and saw a boy that couldn't have been more than a few years older than he was, but then he saw an old man with an angry look on his face. Naruto got scared and tried to sit up and run away, but he couldn't do any more than roll slightly on the table. When the older man saw Naruto move, he slowly began to make his way over to the table Naruto was on. Fear flashed in Naruto's eyes and he tried to placate the angry man.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it! Please… Please don't hurt me!"

The older man stopped and stared at Naruto for several seconds before speaking. "Fear not youngling. I am not going to hurt you. My name is Tho-Mos Drei, Grand Master of the Jedi Order and hold the third seat on the Council. Several years ago we felt a disturbance in the force and sent out several groups of Jedi to investigate. Their findings were most… disturbing."

Naruto couldn't get past the fact that this man wasn't going to hurt him. "Drei-sama…Where… Where am I… why are all these machines so shiny. This isn't the hospital is it?"

Drei smiled lightly and put his hand on Naruto's head. "No child, this is not the hospital. You are currently aboard my starship, the Last Hope. I have taken you from your village under orders from the Council."

Naruto turned his head towards the ground. "You mean… I'm not in Konoha anymore? Did they… did they kick me out? I *sniff* knew that they *sniff* hated me, and I *sniff* knew that they would *sniff* throw me out just like *sniff* the orphanage did…"

"No child, they did not throw you out. I removed you from the hostile environment you were in for your safety."

Naruto was still looking at the ground when the image of a raven mask flashed through his mind. He looked up at Drei. "Did anyone try to stop you from taking me?"

Drei was silent for a few seconds. "Yes, I was not the one who saved you from the group that was hurting you. There was a man by the name of 'Raven' that drove the attackers off. Now, as I said before, I am bringing you to Coruscant to be trained in the ways of the Jedi."

Alek looked at his master with surprised eyes. "Master! He is going to the academy? You never told me that-"

Drei silenced his apprentice with a look. "I told you what was necessary for you to accompany me on the mission. You had no need to have any other information pertaining to the child and so I did not tell you."

Naruto finally registered what they were saying. "Wait, Jedi? I've never heard of them. Are they from another village?"

Drei looked back to Naruto. "No child, we are not on your planet anymore. I am taking you to the capital of the Galactic Republic, a planet known as Coruscant. Now, there is much to fill you in on while we make the several day journey to Coruscant. Now, tell me, what do you know of the energy you call 'Chakra'?"

Naruto was staring at the ground in confusion as he answered. "Well… I know it's used for really strong Ninjutsu and used in Genjutsu, but I don't know how to use it."

Drei nodded his head. "Good, that knowledge will be sufficient enough. Now, what you call 'Ninjutsu' and 'Genjutsu' are what your species have created by harnessing the energies in their bodies and manipulating it through the use of hand seals. This is a variation of manipulation of the Force. The Force is the energy that lives in all things, and when one is trained in the Jedi arts that person can manipulate the Force."

Naruto was still confused. "But… why? Why would go through all the trouble to get me and train me?"

Drei continued. "As I said earlier, we felt a disturbance in the Force. Many years ago a Dark Jedi in exile fled to your planet and created a force beast of unimaginable strength. He seemed to have sacrificed his life while converting his life force into pure energy, which he funneled into his creature. I am not sure of the exact historical events, but soon after the creature was sealed inside of a man known to your people as the Rikudo Sennin or the Sage of the Six Paths. On his death bed he split the creature into nine different beasts with an order based on the number of tails each beast had ranging from one to nine. From what our Jedi have discovered, your father sealed the most powerful, the Kyuubi no Kitsune into you."

Naruto's mouth fell open. "But… everyone said that the Yondaime Hokage killed the Kyuubi."

Alek scoffed slightly. "How can you kill a creature born of the Force? It would be like trying to kill the air."

Drei looked over at his apprentice. "Do not mock him Alek. Information like this was purposefully withheld from Naruto so it is no wonder he doesn't know." He turned back to Naruto. "Yes Naruto, the Yondaime Hokage fought with the Kyuubi, but as Alek said, you cannot kill a creature born of the Force. To save his village he was forced to seal it into you, though why he did not choose another child I am unsure."

Naruto hesitated. "Wait, if you said my father sealed the Kyuubi into me, does that mean he's my dad?"

Drei smiled. "Good deduction. Yes Naruto, you are the son of the Yondaime Hokage and a woman by the name of Kushina Uzumaki, though she also died the night of the Kyuubi's attack protecting you."

Naruto couldn't believe his ears. "I… I have parents… and they… protected me." Naruto's head shot up. "Wait, then why did you take me! What do you want with me?"

Drei put a reassuring hand on Naruto's shoulders. "You have a creature born of the Force inside of you. This would naturally grant you innate mastery over some of the Force's more subtle aspects. For instance, you are able to draw on the energies surrounding you at all times and convert it into some sort of enhanced regenerative ability. There are many other side effects of being a host, but the main reason I have taken you is that the Council has foreseen a great darkness. When this darkness will show itself is uncertain, but they have foreseen that you will be the one to end the darkness and bring peace to the Republic."

Drei backed away from Naruto and bowed slightly. "I cannot make you do anything you do not wish to do, but on behalf of the Jedi Order, I humbly implore that you undertake training to become a Jedi and save the lives of countless billions."

Naruto's face became red from embarrassment and scratched his head slightly. "Please Drei-sama, don't bow to me… it feels weird." Naruto was silent for a few seconds. "And… I would be honored to be able to become a Jedi like you and protect people."

Drei smiled. "Glad to hear it young one. The Council will be happy with your answer. Now, when we reach Coruscant, would you like to be known as Naruto or another alias? It is not uncommon for Jedi apprentices to change their names when they join the Jedi Order."

Naruto thought for a few seconds. He was about to say that Naruto was fine but then he thought about everything that he learned. He would no longer be on his home planet, and he would have a chance to start over completely. He wanted to start over with a new name but he couldn't decide which one to choose. He then remembered the raven masked man who saved his life from the frenzied mob of people.

Naruto looked up at Drei. "Drei-sama… if it's possible, I would like to change my name."

Drei nodded. "Of course Naruto, now what would you like you new name to be?"

Naruto smiled. "I would like to be called Revan."
